Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

  • Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased 33% to $3.2 million, as compared to revenue of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven primarily by Asset Monitoring and Constellation-as-a-Service lines of business.
  • Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $1.1 million, as compared to a gross profit of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Gross margin was 34% in the first half of 2023, as compared to 44% for the prior year period, due to higher ground station and cloud services costs associated with our larger constellation.
  • General and administrative expenses were $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees related to elevated merger activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022, lower bad debt expense, and lower insurance cost.
  • Research & Development expenses increased to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to the employee severance costs, offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation, both resulting from workforce reductions.
  • Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased to $29.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a decreased gain from the change in fair value of warrant and earnout liabilities, offset by a decrease in professional fees, which were elevated during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the merger transaction.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased to $23.8 million from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to an increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents resulting from increased interest rates, as well as a decrease in bad debt expense and insurance costs.
  • Cash was $42.0 million at June 30, 2023, as compared to $76.5 million at December 31, 2022.
  • Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due a reduction in headcount and discretionary spending.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We monitor a number of financial performance and liquidity measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business. Included in these financial performance and liquidity measures are the non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they remove the impact of items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are used by us to evaluate our core operating performance and liquidity on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. The non-GAAP measures also facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures, taxation, capital expenditures and non-cash items (i.e., depreciation, embedded derivatives, debt extinguishment and stock-based compensation) which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. However, different companies may define these terms differently and accordingly comparisons might not be accurate. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure. For the definitions of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

We have included reconciliations of non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure.

We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company did not incur amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude merger-related transaction costs, other financial income (which consists of foreign currency gains and losses), changes in the fair value of embedded derivative instruments and stock-based compensation.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its net loss for the periods indicated.
